After midnight, the four people who had not slept all night got up secretly. They planned to break away from the big team from today and start a new life as a small team.
Ben, Olga, Brooke, and Olga are old friends for many years. Olga and Olga are very friendly best friends since they were students. Ben and Brooke also have a good relationship, and Olga also has a good relationship.
Ya's good friend Heidemi and her husband, three high-income middle-class DINK families, often gather together.
They have activities almost every weekend, either going out for picnics or gathering at someone's house to read and watch movies.
They like this small and beautiful life.
Brooke is a second-generation Indian. The education he received at home since he was a child is to find inner "peace and joy", so he often shares with his friends the philosophy of life that his parents brought from their hometown.
Ben is the only freelancer among them. He is versatile and an excellent man who can work in the hall or in the kitchen. However, he hates being called around, especially by a fool.
Ben has been working under Clyde these days. If someone hadn't stopped him, he would have beaten Clyde several times.
These four people have been planning for several days. Judging from the news they received, the infected people have gathered into large groups, and a large number of areas, including towns and cities, have become empty areas.
I thought that there were supplies all over the ground and we just had to pick them up. There was no need to be trapped in a small rural place. He thought that the more infected people concentrated, the bigger the gap between them would be.
As long as you move carefully and reasonably, you can avoid the infected indefinitely.
The four people did not tell Heidemi about their escape because they felt that Heidemi had betrayed their small team.
After Haidmi came to the gospel team, he quickly became involved with the senior management. He was very busy every day and had no time to pay attention to the other people, nor did he have time to attend the "Peace and Joy" sharing meeting they held every night.
Haidemi is a team-oriented talent. The larger the team and the larger the population, the more important her role. In a small team, Haidmi is often not as important as Ben.
It could also be said to be a misunderstanding or jealousy. Anyway, these people believed that Hedmi had betrayed the small team, so during their escape, the first thing they were wary of was Hedme's whistleblower.
Today is the best opportunity to escape. The vehicles, firearms and supplies that were originally needed to be secretly prepared are all available.
There are currently three vehicles loaded with supplies parked on the street, easily accessible.
Regrettably, there was no key in the pickup truck, so the four people used the lights of the Morgan Building to transfer the supplies from the pickup truck to an off-road vehicle.
There are 4 roads and 1 expressway in Jixi Town.
The toll station on the highway has been blocked by various vehicles, and there is another dead end road to the mountainous area. Ben randomly chose one of the other three roads, and then led everyone to leave Jixi Town and rush to the place he longed for.
distance.
Ben was carried away by too much happiness, and he forgot Fran's report. If you choose any of these three roads, you will inevitably encounter a group of infected people.
Worried that the gospel team would send pursuers, the off-road vehicle drove very fast on the road due to its good performance.
When the xenon lights of the off-road vehicle illuminated the dense crowd of infected people in front of the road, Ben was startled, and his heart tightened so much that he slammed on the brakes.
This off-road vehicle is well equipped to handle all conditions, but something is different today, the road is now covered with frozen snow.
As soon as I braked, the off-road vehicle began to slide slightly out of control. At this time, you should release the brakes and stabilize the steering wheel, and the vehicle will naturally return to the right direction.
As a result, Ben made an instinctive mistake. He subconsciously turned the steering wheel in the other direction, and the off-road vehicle instantly lost control. It drifted sideways for a while, slid down the roadbed, and then fell to the ground.
The two off-road vehicles behind them did not make the same mistake because they had enough warning distance. After the two vehicles came to a slow stop, Ben also opened the door and climbed out.
The overturned off-road vehicle was not seriously injured, but seeing the slowly approaching group of infected people not far away, I suddenly gave up on the off-road vehicle.
After Ben got on another off-road vehicle, the two vehicles turned around, found a low spot and drove off the road.
…
What an unexpected surprise, I actually found the car.
Vance wanted that off-road vehicle very much. Not only was that vehicle more spacious than this car, but it also had stolen equipment on it. He might have his precious AR-15 in it.
There is only one problem now, their target, this group of infected people is slowly moving on the road in front of the off-road vehicle. They need to bypass the group of infected people before they can get to the off-road vehicle.
Vance decided to discuss it with the team members.
"Hey, boys and girls," Vance said, "We need that off-road vehicle in front of us. It has the firearms we need. All we have to do now is sneak over and right it.
Listen to me, it is actually not difficult to right a car. It looks big, but in fact, as long as everyone pushes hard together, it can turn over again.
Now everyone listens to my arrangements."
…
…
Field team.
After getting into the pickup truck, Thomas felt like he was alive again, for no other reason than because it was warmer in the pickup truck.
Although Thomas's drug addiction has been cured through forced abstinence, his long-term drug abuse has resulted in extremely poor physical function. He often has chills all over his body and cold hands and feet. In other words, Thomas is deficient in both Qi and blood.
I was sitting in a van just now. The air conditioner of the van was broken and the windows couldn't be raised. It was as cold as it got. The van broke down on the road not long after setting off. To Thomas, it was not a bad thing.
A kind of happiness.
On the icy and snowy road, Joanna did not drive the pickup truck too wildly, but the town was not far away. Half an hour later, the pickup truck had arrived outside the town.
Egg learned from Nicholas that this is Cato Town, which is ten kilometers away from Puduo City. It is a satellite town of Puduo City. Beyond it is Puduo City.
In the Central Plains, some larger cities have their own satellite towns. People living there endure traffic jams and extremely time-consuming commuting every day, dreaming of one day buying a house in the city center and moving in comfortably.
But in America, the situation is a little different.
People living in satellite towns are all white-collar workers with relatively high incomes, while the poor at the bottom are crowded in the city center, unable to escape even if they want to.
Through the front windshield, Egger had already seen the neat and beautiful townhouses on the outskirts of Cato Town.
If Jixi Town is like a rustic country girl wearing a fashionable coat, then Cato Town is like an elegant and simple manor lady, who perfectly combines pastoral scenery with elegance and dignity in a vast expanse of white snow.
Nicholas is also looking at Todo Town from a distance. He has never been able to come back since he escaped from here on the day the blood epidemic broke out. A group of them retreated further and further away. If they hadn't gone on field duty today, they might not have had the chance to set foot here again.
Nicholas also knew that the house in the town was just a house, a home, which had been lost after the blood epidemic broke out.
Over the past few months, many of the emotions have gradually faded away. People are really mean when it comes to it. No matter how miserable and heartbreaking it is, you will know after a while that you "can't live anymore" anyway.
There is really nothing to live with.
The pickup truck slowly drove into the town of Todo. Everywhere in the town revealed an eerie silence, and everyone in the vehicle increased their vigilance to the maximum.
There are cars that have lost their owners along the streets of the town, but most of them are sedans.
Of course, this does not mean that you have to find exactly the same tires. In an emergency, the most important thing when changing a car tire is that the wheel hub bolt holes should be aligned, and the total tire circumference should be the same.
Friends who have changed spare tires know that many car spare tires are not much wider than motorcycles.
In an extreme emergency, it doesn't matter if the tire circumference is even a little different. At most, the car will wander a little, so you just need to drive slower and pay more attention.
When Iger was about to get out of the car and compare the sizes of car tires, Nicholas pointed to the corner ahead and said that there was a store over there, and he remembered that the owner of the store had a van.
Following Nicholas's guidance, the car turned a corner, then turned an intersection, and the pickup truck arrived at the door of the store.
Before they parked the car, everyone saw three cars parked on the street outside the store. Seven or eight people were busy carrying goods from the store. One of the men saw the pickup truck coming and looked at them in a friendly manner.
He waved his hand and then turned back to the store.
This was the first time that Iger met a strange scavenger in the wild, and he seemed to be quite friendly.
In the apocalypse, wouldn't scavengers get tense when they meet each other? Why is this more like a group of people calling for friends to buy goods for zero dollars?
